Videos!!

Hello everyone!

Today I’m going to talk you about two videos online in English that are very interesting for me, this videos was found by my boyfriend, he always lost time in the internet xD he watches videos and on the weekend he shows me all the funny and original videos to watch them together.
The first video is about a singer called Tim Minchin (this isn’t his only talent)…it’s a little bit long, but it's very funny! It's a kind of parody about his life, and how he finished being singer and playing piano, and how he isn’t a rock star, as he dreamed when he was a little boy, but if you think, he finished being a good professional on this music and making something that is very different, because all his music is like a parody, he is a musician but with humor too, and a lot of times…he say things that are true, but that the people never look, inside of them or in the others.

The second video is about something new, it’s a video about three men that will throw a human-shaped plane, it gives the sensation that three people are flying in the air on New York city, the impression is that it's true people, and  the music put from his part too; the result is….a feeling of liberation. This video is more like something creative that other thing, for this I choose it.

Brasilia

This is a correction for a Sebastian's post: 

(Original)
In 2010, I had the opportunity to visit one of the most relevant metropolis in the modern architecture’s history, the Brazil’s capitol, Brasilia. 

I traveled with a bunch of FAU’s students, some of them my best friends, and  take us a lot of hours to arrive because of the bad airline organization (worst airline ever).

One of the main reasons for my visit was the Latin-American encounter of architecture’s students, a massive celebration which each year congregate thousands of young people around the same topic, architecture/urbanism. But, obviously, a lot of young stressed students cannot only talk about their careers, so parties were a must.
The daily schedule was divided between seminaries, workshops, forums, guided visits and parties, so we were active all the time for a period of 7 days (yeah, a whole week). That give us the chance to learn how actually work a modern city and most important, meet people from all over the continent, from Brazilians to Peruvians, Paraguayans etc., contacts that continue even today.

London Webquest!


Hi!!!
Today, I will talk about the activity that the last week we made called Webquest, about London and the places we can visit, we planned and tabulated places for one week, evaluating touristic locations for an end of year study trip!

I think that the activity was very different, in particular, for me was very difficult because I don’t use to visit those sites because I understand the half xD but the last week I think that I efforted for contextualize in the topic that say in each page. The difficult part was that, but when I saw the content, the touristic attractive, it was easier and entertaining because I go discovering the tours and trips; and it´s very distracting, more when I choose the career for the love to the places and landscapes…an activity like this is very interesting :D in spite of the part that I was very slow and that’s frustrating xD but if you see the sites I think that it was very good made, and each entry has been very well constructed and its (for me) slightly fast to found the information that the table requires, like the prices or the tube station nearest to the location…. Although I didn´t finished D: because the underground train in London is a little BIG xD and finding the area of the station is complicated and, regretabbly, me? Putting little information?? the edition of the info is not the mine! but I have trust that with the practice I’ll improve my capacity to do internet searches in english =)

I’ve always known London as a city with a old architecture and culture, with his typicals red buses with two decks, and his characteristic red telephone booth, with places asociated with fashion and famous people like Soho or some things that I’ve heard about the royal family and his Buckingham Palace in London, his royals activities...the Scotland Yard...however, many other things about this city, and this activity changes my mind because it presents to me, other types or places more refreshing and innovative, like museums as Madame Toussaud's! a very interesting and funny place!!! and others places for visiting that made me wish to visit London :B

Dorito


Hi!!
Today, I'm going to tell you about something that I need to say, because these weeks has been really busy and I can't think on this topic...well, I'm going to talk about Dorito, my pet. Regrettably, Dorito has died 2 weeks ago and I felt so bad, because this hamster depended on me, and I felt so guilty for not being there in that moment...I dont know, I guess that, at least, he was heat and he didn't suffer u.u
Dorito was a very restless hamster, in his youth he ran in his circle and he made a racket everynight! =) He was a very fussy eater, he only ate sunflower's seeds because He disliked the hard things, if you gave him hard food, he put it on the water, and only thinking in that after, maybe, he would eat... only if his favorite food have finished.
I used to say that Dorito was like Peter Pettigrew of Harry Potter, because, one day, he came to my room from the nothing, and without one finger. Since that day I tried to protect and love him, and, until he was despirited I think that he was very old, and his life was longer that the normal...but I had the hope that only he would being hibernating =( but not...I'm so sad for this and I feel lonely and when I hear a sound I think: ohh, is Dorito playing, but then I remember everything...but well, it doesn't matter, I will have him in my memories and I will remember his personality with happiness...

I hope that everyone have a partner like this, or had it in the past because I think that it's so beautiful to have a connection with an animal that we love too much

American History X

Hello everyone!!-

Today I'm going to talk you about my favorite movie! It's very complicated for me to choose only one! But among the movies of the Nazi ideology that I like; I think that the best is American History X. This is a North American film directed by Tony Kaye at 1998. The first time that I saw it, it marked me...for the cruelty and the willpower of the principal character's convictions, although I saw it when I was an adolescent with a right mind.



The film shows the story of Derek Vinyard (starring by Edward Norton :P), this guy is a Nazi for complete, and he lives in a racist neighborhood with an evident differentiation between people with black and white race. One day, in the evening, a black men try to steal his car and he, when he notice this, go out and shoot him, and the thief dies. Derek go to prison, and he left his brother with the legacy of hate, it surrounded by many situations of conflicts in the neighborhood. When Derek is in the jail, it changes his mentality for coexist with tolerance inside the prison, and he met many friendly people of other races, while the Nazi guys betrayed him...this is the beginning of the change.

When this men go out from the jail, he go to his home and he confront the situation that the people that before were his friends, now thinks very different to him, they believe in the racism, and Derek can't stand the brother's ideology. He tries to show the reality to his little brother and change his thinking, and he did it, but before that he can do anything, his brother dies in school...it fell into the hands of the enemy; a black gang, before that he could explain that he wasn't a racist now u.u (I cried so much in this part of the film...xD how a half hour after the end xD jakaj) I like this movie because I think that it's very dramatic, but with pure reality...I love it!! and I cry very much...that deserve my respects jaja furthermore, the film is starring by Edward Norton, I like this actor and his work!

My favorite band! ♫


Hi!-
Today, I´d like to tell you about my favorite band! In the beginning, I listened their music because my friend's brother was a “metalhead” and he has a band of aggro metal. When I go to their house I listened this one and I began to like it me! This band was System of A down, better known as SOAD! *O*
I began to go to the cyber to listen their music and check YouTube for see them in live concerts! I felt in love with the bassist immediately! jaja but Chavo Odadjian didn´t capture for long time…as time goes by, I appreciated their music much more, I think that the best of SOAD is their style! It´s a kind of metal with a touch of psychedelic rocks, funk, jazz, and many others genres of music!! It´s the difference with the other bands…that SOAD isn´t categorized.
SOAD show their Armenian and Lebanese traditions, but with speech of North American citizen, with thematics like the pornography, the war, infantile mistreatment or sexism. I like it how they express their dissatisfaction with the society and how the band mix the music for this.

Sometimes, I think that it´s a unique and irreproducible combination that, in the time when the band decided  to separate, was very missed! In 2011 they went to Chile for a farewell tour, after many time without playing together. SOAD played the favorites songs of the people (I like all songs!!! xD but I would say that my favorite song is Toxicity), and sang Daron Malakian and Serj Tankian!! It was very magic because was raining that day, and it was outdoors! =D I bought the ticket of more near of the stage! Haha I couldn't lose it!! The concert was cool!

A picture!!

Hi everyone!

Today, I will talk about this picture because, for me, it represents a very important moment, It´s not a “special” picture (in a aesthetics way), but I remember it like a very quiet and nice moment. I took this photo and it shows my boyfriend (and my best friend) in O’higgins Park, where is the lagoon with ducks in a kind of island, in a very private place, where you can be very comfortable and you can interact with the ducks when they go out from the lake.

I think that this picture represents all that very beautiful moment with my boyfriend and when we can be together (he live so far u.u), this day in particular he went to my college to found me and we went to the park to lunch, I remember that we sat down in a big rock to talk and enjoy the place, when began to rain…it was very magic! I really enjoyed this day, although I remember that it was at Friday in first year of my career and I escaped from class xD! But well…never mind, I don´t feel remorse for that =) we still save a piece of paper of when he drew me that day! *O* I´m in love of this moment, and this picture!!
